| Technology Brief |
Seaboard Energy purchased an idle cellulosic ethanol plant in Hugoton, KS from Synata Hugoton, LLC in February of 2019 (former Abengoa). The team evaluated the acquired assets to determine the best potential opportunities and uses for the property, including modifications to produce renewable diesel.
In July 2022 Seaboard Energy is celebrating its first on spec Renewable Diesel produced at our Hugoton, KS plant.

| Additional Information |
Seaboard was able to utilize support infrastructure on site, but the new plant’s feedstock pretreatment units, hydrogen plant and renewable diesel processing units were built new. “The primary process facilities required to convert fats and oils into renewable diesel were constructed as greenfield projects,” Louis explains. “A lot of people think we went in and changed the process to make renewable diesel, we did not, we went in and used the existing infrastructure to support a greenfield renewable diesel plant.”
